Synergy for Prom

T

he Odebrecht Run and Walk began in São Paulo in 2006, and since then, in addition to becoming part of the routine of São Paulo Members, it has also won over new cities and added new countries.

This evolution led to an unprecedented milestone during the first edition of 2013:the action occurred simultaneously in 20 sites.

On April 13 and 14, Members from Brazil, Portugal, Mozambique, United States, Angola, Cuba, Mexico, Ecuador, Panama, Peru and the United Arab Emirates gathered their families for a morning filled with integration and activities designed to promote health. This synergy brought together more than 10,800 people in all who signed up.Alice Sawamura, a Nurse from the Health Support Area in São Paulo and one of the professionals who came up with the idea for the event, pointed out that the most important aspect of this integrated initiative is to reinforce each person’s role in terms of caring for their own health.“Taking this message around the world is

fundamental, and the Run and Walk helps us with this challenge,” said Sawamura.For her, the support of leaders influencing other leaders was important for the countries’ growing participation.In this sense,

moting Health Gabriela Kuchinski, Member of the Odebrecht S.A. Culture and Integration team, which supported the event organization, reinforced the important mobilization focused

on the topic:“We interacted with all sites and it was incredible to see people’s mobilization and interest in holding this event focused on promoting health,” said Kuchinski.

The morning began with a stretching class for the later run or walk – based on the participant’s choosing.

Upon their return, a dance class awaited those present for some fun and relaxation, and to replenish their energy, a healthy snack was served.

MonalisaGonçalves believes that the initiative reinforces the importance of those moments set aside for leisure and a healthy lifestyle.“I truly recognize the importance of the event and feel proud to be part of a company that is concerned

with its Members’ well being,” said Gonçalves.She further emphasized that the fact that the event takes place in several sites at once was also something exciting:“I find the synergy between the countries to hold the event simultaneously to be something fantastic,” she said.“I was able to follow colleagues from the different corners of

sang for the participants and park visitors.

Different Than Anything You Have Ever Seen

O

n April 23, a new business model began operating in São

Paulo: ConectCar, which works in the segment of electronic toll, shopping center parking and fuel supply payment.

The company was created by Odebrecht TransPort and Ipiranga, subsidiary of the Ultra Group and largest private distributor of fuels in Brazil.

The partnership between Odebrecht TransPort and Ipiranga allows ConectCar to benefit from the experience in the road concessions segment and gives it access to a sales channel with more than 6,200 points in the country.

With a chip installed in the vehicle — or a tag, as it is more commonly known – the customers pass directly through the toll plazas along the São Paulo state highways, have access to shopping center and commercial center parking lots, accumulate points under the Ipiranga loyalty program (called “KMs of Advantages”) and can pay for fuel and acquire products and services at the Ipiranga gas stations. All of this using a fast, safe and modern pre-paid electronic payment system without monthly fees, giving the driver the convenience of avoiding lines in the toll plazas or the need

18

to open the car window to use money or tickets.

“We united technology with the vocation for solid customer relations,” Paulo Cesena, Executive Director at Odebrecht TransPort.

“We want them to be satisfied and find pleasure in using our services. It is with this intent that we offer comfort, advantages and conveniences when traveling, going shopping or filling up on gas, benefits that we want to extend to the entire country,” said Cesena.

The ConectCar tag was tested and has been operating since December 2012 at the toll plazas of Rota dos Coqueiros, the

19

concessionaire controlled by Odebrecht TransPort in Pernambuco.

To initiate the operation in São Paulo, contracts were signed with the 19 highway concessionaires, with authorization obtained from the São Paulo State Transports Agency (ARTESP). Through such contracts, the tags are now being sold to pay for the tolls along the São Paulo highways. Along the federal highways with toll plazas — Presidente Dutra,

social networks, as well as an action designed especially for Members of the São Paulo Odebrecht Organization.

Régis Bittencourt, TransBrasiliana and Fernão Dias —, the installation is currently under negotiation with the concessionaires.

Over the upcoming days, the São Paulo Ipiranga Gas Stations will be “suited” with the ConectCar brand. There will be an advertising campaign to launch the product on television – characters will liven up the primetime commercial slots and the soccer game broadcasts. The media plan also includes initiatives on the main radio stations and

for the pre-paid system in which the user pays a recharge fee and can recharge only the amount necessary for one trip.

“ConectCar was structured into a business model without monthly fees, heavily reducing the tag value compared to the competition by charging a small fee for each recharge operation that varies between R$ 2 (recharge of R$ 20) and R$ 8.50 (recharge of R$ 220).

“This revolution in the system costs may attract many more people to experience the convenience of automatic payments,” he said.

Over the upcoming months, the ConectCar tag will arrive to the states of Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Paraná, Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo.

BUSINESS MODEL The focus of the company, which received investments of R$ 150 million, is the 35 million vehicle owners in the country that travel little and do not want to add yet another fixed expense to their monthly budget, opting instead

HOW IT WORKS The tag can be acquired at any one of the more than 1,300 Ipiranga gas stations in the State of São Paulo.

Afterwards, the client simply needs to charge it with credits at the gas stations to begin using the system.

20

The device – a small plastic box with a chip – is fastened to the vehicle’s windshield in a horizontal position that facilitates the radiofrequency communication between the device and the antennas installed in the toll plazas and parking lots. The communication takes place automatically. If there is enough balance to cover the transaction, the toll gates open and the payment amount is subtracted from the credits and passed on to the concessionaire or

parking lot.

“The pre-paid system is undoubtedly a major innovation, since it provides the advantage of a product without any monthly fee and at a low cost, and in counterpart, offers the user the responsibility of managing the credit balance, similarly to a bank account. “The planning of the trip and control of the balance are important activities for guaranteeing the direct passage through the toll plazas and parking lots, since if there is not enough balance to pay the transaction the gate will not open,” alerted Cumerlato.

In order to assist users with the task of administering their balance, ConectCar offers several means to consult it: via the

Learn more about the Advantages NO MONTHLY FEE The recharges are pre-paid with a small fee, allowing for full expense control.

Discounts when Purchasing Gas To purchase gas at the Ipiranga gas stations using the ConectCar credits, the user receives a 3% discount – credited in the system with a limit value of R$ 220 per recharge.

Earn Km of Advantages The driver can accumulate bonuses – “kilometers” – for all recharges and exchange these for benefits and discounts. Each real recharged is equal to one kilometer.

Simplified Balance Control Users can consult their balance and statement online at: www.conectcar.com, through the customer service center or via SMS sent to the cellular phone number registered on the Customer Portal. The service has a fee: R$ 0.35 per consultation, which is deducted from the tag balance.

Elevators from the Odebrecht offices in São Paulo wrapped with the ConectCar internal publicity campaign

website www.conectcar.com, via cellular phone via SMS or through the assistance center that operates 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

Besides this, ConectCar sends an SMS message to the user at no cost when his or her balance goes below R$10.00.

STAY TUNED! • Upon recharging the balance, the user needs to wait for six hours until the credits are recognized

22

by the concessionaires’ systems.

This wait is not necessary for the parking option, where the credits are immediately recognized.

• The amounts that are not used expire in four months starting with the recharge date.

• The tag should be placed on the vehicle’s windshield in the horizontal position, and once it is fastened, it can no longer be removed. If it is removed, the tag stops working.

In March, Braskem sponsored the Brazilian Association of Non-Tissues and Technical Tissues (ABINT) with a focus on quality control in projects involving geosynthetics. The material, used in Odebrecht project, is employed primarily to reinforce and waterproof civil constructions, such as highways, slopes and landfills.

The course, promoted by the Engineering Institute in SĂŁo Paulo over a two-day period, was administered by the international specialists from Texas

Research International (TRI), Sam Allen and Abigail Beck. In all, 160 professionals, including draftsmen, engineers and others from the sector, listened to lectures on the technologies and techniques for applying geosynthetics.

The initiative, headed by Gustavo Lombardi, from the Polypropylene Area, and Paulo Sanches, from the Polyethylene area, reinforces Braskem’s relationship with ABINT and promotes the use of solutions with geosynthetics in civil construction in Brazil.

Winners of the award next to João Pacífico and Érico Dantas, Engineering Director

The Odebrecht team in Angola is already working on the 2013 edition. During the ceremony, registration was opened for the fourth edition. This year, participants will benefit from monitoring by the Odebrecht team, an initiative developed to bring the award researchers together.

38

The idea is to engage the highest possible number of representatives from the 18 Angolan provinces.

BRAZIL The award ceremony for the 2012 edition in Brazil was held on March 20 in Rio de Janeiro (read the story in ON Edition No. 304).

Winner of first place, Humberto Santos, student at the University of Pernambuco, participated in a meeting with João Pacífico, Northeast and Central-West Managing Director of Odebrecht Infraestrutura, on April 5, together with Sérgio Peres, Advisor Professor, and Carlos Calado, Dean of the university.

During the meeting, Pacífico awarded Santos with tablets and expressed the company’s interesting in continuing forward with the project he developed.

“It makes me very proud to see a Pernambuco resident chosen as winner,” said Pacífico. “We intend to use the work at some construction project and together, study how we can put it into practice,” he said.

For Santos, the award also represents the hope for a more sustainable future. “In addition to the honor and recognition, we know that this is the base of our future,” he said. “In a few years, I’ll be able to tell my son that it is worth it to study and take care of our planet,” he emphasized. Using leftover wood in the combustion to generate gas capable of serving as fuel is the main concept behind the project developed by the Mechanical Engineering student.

Registration for the 2013 edition will be opened at the start of May. Access: www.premioodebrecht.com/ brasil

In 2013, the program’s first meeting took place from April 8-9 in Salvador, Bahia, and involved 334 Members of the

42

Organizations’ companies.

The Young Partners of Odebrecht S.A., Odebrecht Properties, Odebrecht Infraestrutura, Odebrecht TransPort, Odebrecht Defesa e Tecnologia, Odebrecht Oil and Gas, Odebrecht Realizações Imobiliárias, Odebrecht Ambiental and Braskem attended the general event, which included lectures, group dynamics and activities that allowed them to better understand the group’s profile and learn more about the Organization and its culture. In the actions that were promoted, the participants talked about the 2020 Vision, Organizational Culture and diversity of the Organization.

Marcelo Odebrecht, President and CEO of Odebrecht S.A., opened up the meeting through a video conference and answered

FOCUS ON THE BIOENERGY BUSINESS In Atibaia, rural São Paulo, Odebrecht Agroindustrial closed the activities related to its Young Partner and Young Agroindustrial activities that began in 2012. The 89

professionals received their certificate of conclusion.

The 36 Members who participated in the Young Partner program began the next stage of development, continuing on to the Young Agroindustrial Program on April 10. The new feature for this year is that the leaders from all areas of the company internally identified

the participants undergo job rotation in their respective areas of activity. The stage has three onsite training modules with a focus on integration and acculturation, complemented by distance activities (e-learning).

The Young Agroindustrial Program has four on-site modules

Mathematics in Practice In order to eradicate concrete waste and boost productivity, 33 Production leaders from the Transnordestina Railroad, currently under construction by Odebrecht Infraestrutura, received training in Plane and Spatial Geometry.

General, Shift and Service Supervisors from Parnamirim (Pernambuco), Missão Velha (Ceará), and Paulistana (Piauí) took part in the Railroad that Adds Project, which uses geometric figures of the service fronts as examples during the classes.

The results can be measured, for example, in the TS Lot in Parnamirim, which eliminated concrete waste. According to Jorge Raffide, responsible for

Production, this rate was nearly 2% before: “We improved our productivity and helped promote sustainability and costs reduction at the construction projects,” he said.

The knowledge acquired

by Danilo de Souza, Service Supervisor, is already having a positive effect on his activities.

“I reinforced my knowledge in terms of calculating the concrete volume,” said Souza. “We align what we learn with our experience.

I’ll seek to keep learning more and more,” he said. Manoel Mendes Ribeiro, Assembly Supervisor, further added: “I improved the assessment of the team and my day by rationing the time spent on each activity.”

The Railroad that Adds Project has already trained three groups, consisting of 12 Members from Parnamirim, nine from Missão Velha and 12 from Paulistana

Qualifying Client Professionals The Odebrecht Angola CSR Project promoted the course entitled Training in CSR System Operation and Maintenance for 40 professionals from the National Electricity Company (ENE), with aims of qualifying them to operate electrical systems, primarily the CSR Systems (set of equipment that stabilizes the energy originating from hydroelectric power plants).

Divided into three modules – Workplace Safety and Environment, Theoretical and Practical –, the training involved the participation of the projects leaders and technicians specialized in the systems involved. The highlight was the focus on new applied technologies.

The professionals had the opportunity to learn about the technology to be installed at the Viana, Uige and Capanda Elevator substations for the system operation and maintenance processes, including preventive actions. “The sharing of knowledge and training are necessary for ensuring the operation of the equipment in a way that prevents accidents and damages to the machines,” explained Casimiro Angelino, Project Coordinator for ENE. The companies Alstom, ABB, SKRM, Coopergia and Medline also participated as partners.

The participants met the partners and learned about the technology that will be installed, including the preventive and corrective maintenance processes

Rescue and Reintroduction of Fauna In the Province of ManabĂ­, located 420 kilometers from Quito, capital of Ecuador, Odebrecht is preparing and adjusting the area that will house the new PacĂ­fico Eloy Alfaro Refinery. The facility will have a processing capacity of up to 300,000 barrels of oil per day to meet domestic demand and the international market.

For this phase of the construction work, which involves moving 25 million cubic meters of earth within 828 hectares of plant formation known as the Espinoso Tropical Forest, the company implemented the Fauna Recovery Program, supported and financed by the client to protect the species present in the region. The initiative involves a group of 20 professionals, including biologists, veterinarians and other specialists.

According to Alexandre Ungar, Sustainability Manager, the idea is to prevent species with little mobility from being affected during the refinery construction process. The program maintains a partnership with the Ecuador Ministry of the Environment and has been promoted by the government itself as an example of implementing this type of initiative in the country.

Since August 2012, 1,942 animals of 30 different species have been rescued and then reintroduced into the Pacoche Natural Reserve

To Grow Together

T

he program Kukula Ku Moxi (which means “Grow Together” in the Kimbundo dialect) was created by Odebrecht Angola with aims of contributing toward the sustainable development of the region of Capanda by improving the population’s quality of life and increasing education and work and income generation opportunities.

With the support of the Capanda Agroindustrial Center Development Society (SODEPAC), formed

by Odebrecht in partnership with the company Maersk, the initiative has expanded into 20 rural communities in the municipality of Cacuso, located inside the Capanda Agroindustrial Center, benefiting 10,000 people.

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT Angola has one of the worst child mortality rates in Africa. In the region of Capanda, over 90% of the women have home births, assisted by traditional wives and without any type of medical assistance.

Faced with this scenario, the Traditional Midwife

56

April 10 was marked by the First Traditional Midwives’ Meeting through Kukula Ku Moxi in Capanda

57

: Fifty-two midwives participated in the action, receiving orientations about prenatal and postpartum care and family planning

58

Training and Strengthening Program – launched in 2011 within the sphere of the Kulonga Pala Kukula (“Education for Development”) Program – was extended to Kukula Ku Moxi. The idea is to strengthen the midwives’ work, encouraging best practices during the births and reducing the child and maternal death rates.

This action has the direct participation of the company’s health teams, together with the granting of systematic teaching materials and support from the professionals from the Cacuso Municipal Hospitals. The participants receive kits with gloves, scissors, a stethoscope and medical coat to guarantee improved hygiene and safety during the births.

The training is followed by the Monitoring of Pregnant Women and Children until 1 year of age to identify the advances obtained, promote improved interaction between the mothers and midwives and to allow for the monthly prenatal visits and monitoring of the babies’ development.

The Traditional Midwife Training and Strengthening Program was launched as part of the Kulonga pala Kukula (“Education for Development”) Program and has already trained 24 midwives from the Chieftaincy of M’Banza N’Dongo.

In 2012, four pregnant women and six babies per midwife received monthly monitoring. For this year, more than 40 midwives are expected to participate in the program, with monitoring of 80 pregnant women and 120 babies per month.

ENVIRONMENTAL DEVELOPMENT Kukula Ku Moxi also supports initiatives focused on environmental conservation at the Odebrecht projects located in the region of Capanda.

At the Laúca Hydroelectric Facility, the Kakunununa (which means “Replant” in the Kimbundo) Social-Environmental Program received the first seeds cultivated by the Kukula partners for

In the communities located near the Laúca Hydroelectric Facility, each family received 30 plastic bags to produce the species, for a total of 1,200 seedlings during the first phase of cultivation

reforestation at the degraded areas of the construction site.

The work to prepare the seedlings was completed locally by mobilizing 40 families that participate in Kulula Ku Moxi. The families found the “young” plants, which are from 10 to 30 centimeters high, from the region’s forests and grew them for one month. After that, the species were sold to the Laúca Hydroelectric Facility, where they will be kept in a suitable greenhouse until they reach the planting period in October and November.

The transplant of the “young” species of flora as a strategy for seedling production – aiming to restore the degraded areas – is recent in several countries and considered a pioneering initiative in Angola, already presenting some promising results. The following are among the main advantages of this technique: the growth in the number of species (generally not available in conventional greenhouses); the elimination of the greenhouse phases (processing, storage and pre-germination treatments for the seeds); and the increase in the number of species over a short period of time.

The action increases the possibility for acquiring native species for the reforestation of the deposits as part of the Degraded Area Recovery Program (PRAD), increasing the family income in the communities. It also raises the families’ awareness about appropriate environmental practices,

Kukula Ku Moxi supports the Kakunununa SocialEnvironmental Program, focused on the reforestation of the areas degraded through the communities’ production

with a focus on reducing the land burning during the drought period and offering environmentally correct and healthy economic alternatives. In order to raise the awareness of these communities, the LaĂşca Hydroelectric Facility Environment area holds lectures on the topic in the local schools and neighborhoods.

Stimulating the Senses Working in partnership with Odebrecht, the Solidaridad Foundation inaugurated the Multisensory Environment Program (Multisensory Surroundings) in March in the city of Asunción, Paraguay. The initiative is designed for individuals with special needs.

The ACP SHE Project, developed by Odebrecht in several different countries, was responsible for building and equipping a multisensory room, with materials designed and adapted for people with different special needs to be given controlled stimuli to receive the right type of treatment and rehabilitation. Besides this, 20 professionals from the foundation were trained in the Snoezelen Method (sensory stimulation) for the use of rehabilitation techniques.

The Snoezelen Method has earned a name as an essential resource for physicians, therapists and academics in the treatment of patients affected by brain damage, paralyses, head injury, cerebral vascular accidents, adults and elderly individuals with Alzheimer’s, children with neural and psychomotor disorders and adults with stress and panic syndrome.

According to the Medical Director of the Solidaridad Foundation, Dr. Adriana Zacur Sharpin, the program will be able to benefit 1,500 patients over a one-year period. The Director of the Educational Program for Children with Physical Disabilities, Carolina Cicao, added: “We now have a method that gives us the chance to work with different senses and focuses and which offers our patient a new treatment.”
